I don't know how many of you know of this man, but....
When I was a child suffering from epilepsy and was in hospital in a pretty bad state...
Along came this guy... I met him 3 times (2 planned, 1 not planned)
He gave me belief in myself and made me feel I could achieve anything...
He could do this simply by his presence, let alone his words.
He met my mother and made her feel a Queen
I am so sad to hear this news
He helped me at a crucial point in my childhood
God Speed and God Bless Jim
 I have a firm grip on reality...Maybe just not this reality   | |

In the Netherlands he was someone who's name many people somehow know, although many are not familiar with his work. His show Jim'll fix it was copied many times though.
How great that he helped you profoundly with his kindness

It must've been a such great experience to meet him.
I used to watch repeats of his show a lot when I was younger. I can't believe that he's gone. RIP | |

That's such a touching story Steadwood. Hearing this news I felt such a pang of sadness - another major figure from my childhood passed away. I used to love Jim'll fix it, what I would have given for one of those medals! He made a lot of kids very happy. RIP Jim. | |

A true British eccentric.
A bit of an oddball with a good heart.
We can all learn from him.
RIP Jim Searching to find what we lost along the way. | |

I was discussing Jimmy Saville's death with friends today and it turned out that most of us wrote to Jim'll Fix It when we were young.
There's no denying he inspired a lot of people and raised great awareness for various charities. He was a good man. RIP.
Now then. Jangle, Jangle. | |

He was such a memorable character from most of our childhoods. Now then guys and gals. I 'ave a letter 'ere from a rather eccentric old man from Scarborough. In. Yorkshire. It says (jangle, jangle), "Dear God, I am a former children's B - B - C television presenter. Disc. Jockey. And professional wrestler (well 'ows about that then?). Please. Could. You fix it for me, to go to 'eaven. Love. From. Jimmy" Well goodness gracious. As it 'appens, I can (errerrerrrerrr...) RIP Jimmy!!! Susan - turn the guitar up a little bit.... | |
